Three ways to work with us

Three ways to get featured.

Pick how involved you want to be.

Why now

Buyers stopped trusting ads. They trust proof.

About 70% of people now hesitate to trust anyone outside their circle (Edelman Trust Barometer 2026). Before they buy, they search your name and ask ChatGPT who to hire.

They Google you first

What shows up for your name decides the deal.

They ask AI who to trust

AI assistants lean on earned media when they recommend experts.

Credibility compounds

Every feature becomes a badge, a sales asset and a reason to say yes.

Read The Trust Recession
Where credibility leaks

Six places buyers decide before they call.

Thin search results

Buyers search your name and find little to go on.

Missing from AI answers

Assistants recommend the experts with earned coverage.

A quiet podcast calendar

The shows your buyers love are booking someone else.

Pitches that go unanswered

Reporters want sources with a sharp angle and fast replies.

An empty speaking calendar

Event organizers book speakers who apply with a clear talk.

Proof buyers can see in seconds

TV and tier-one logos close deals before you say a word.

FAQ

Questions, answered.

What is the difference between Do It Yourself, Done With You and Done For You?

Do It Yourself gives you our software and templates to pitch on your own. Done With You means our team writes your pitches and coaches you while you press send. Done For You means we secure the placements and run the outreach while you approve and show up.

What is a guaranteed press placement?

An article about you in an established publication, at a flat price. Our editorial team writes it from a 10-minute questionnaire, you approve it, and it is published or you get a 100% refund.

How fast will my article go live?

Most guaranteed articles go live 7 to 14 days after you approve the draft.

What is the difference between guaranteed and earned media?

Guaranteed media is a placement you buy at a flat price, published or refunded. Earned media is coverage journalists, hosts and organizers choose to give you after a pitch. Guaranteed gives you proof fast. Earned is what AI assistants cite most.

Will press help me show up in ChatGPT and AI search?

AI assistants cite earned media most: 84% of cited sources, according to Muck Rack's May 2026 research. That is why our programs include earned outreach to journalists, podcasts and stages. Guaranteed placements give you credibility proof fast. Nobody can promise a specific AI answer.

Can I get on TV?

Yes. We book guaranteed lifestyle and business segments on ABC, CBS, NBC, FOX and CW affiliates in 100+ markets, from $1,997 for local segments. National business segments are by application.
